It took me a while to decide on a title for this post, but I think this one does it justice. The ten day break between rounds paid off for me this week. I didn’t write at all during the week, but did complete revisions on the first three chapters of Vessel. I also managed a ton […]

Round of Words: Accomplishments
I accomplished a lot during this round of Round Of Words in 80 Days — the writing challenge that knows you have a life. And I sure do. 🙂 So, I’m focusing on the positive. I’m a lot further along than I was at the beginning of July, and I’ve learned tons of new tricks […]
Editing & the Ideas are Flowing
I’ve been digging into the edits on Vessel, the sequel to my recently released novella, Tribute. I’m on chapter 16, so two-thirds of the way there! I’m happy with the quality of the draft, and able to focus on adding foreshadowing and detail. Hopefully when I’m finished editing the draft on paper, I’ll have taken […]
Outline Schmoutline
Hi there! It’s been an exciting week in my little corner of the world, with the release of my first book, the paranormal romance novella Tribute. (See my last post if you’re interested in a free copy from Smashwords.) I’ve had a lot of fun talking to folks about this project this week. The book I’m […]
#ROW80 Update
Hi, everyone! Hope your week was super productive. I took a vacation. I thought I’d get more writing done during a vacation from my day job, but camping with four kids under the age of four (don’t worry about me, only two are mine) wasn’t as relaxing as I expected. It was a blast, and […]
#ROW80: Life Happens
So, it’s true, the whole idea behind ROW80. Sometimes things happen you really weren’t expecting. Someone close to me, an alcoholic, hit rock bottom this week. I’ve been dealing with fallout, and feeling pretty emotionally drained. I managed about 1,500 words this week, squeaking through the 4,000 mark for total word count on this new […]
Tribute Cover and #ROW80 Update
I’ve mentioned the cover for Tribute, which I’ll publish next month on Amazon and Smashwords, several times. Here it is! My friend Kate Bateman designed it with help from another buddy of ours, Erin Kelly Brown. They’re awesome! As for ROW80, things are going pretty well at the moment. I finished the outline for Queen […]
ROW80 Check In
I’m feeling very successful at the moment. On Friday I sent my paranormal romance novella Tribute out to a handful of beta readers. Other things I need to complete to publish have been falling like dominoes, too. I have a cover (which I’ll post soon, I promise), a description, and a growing list of to-dos […]
#ROW80 3
I love a writing challenge. Something about knowing a whole bunch of other crazy writers are out there hammering away at their own goals, making strides toward their dreams. Romantic, isn’t it? On this fine July day begins ROW80 3! ROW80 is an 80-day writing challenge where you set your own goals and cheer on […]
